the tax increases three weeks ago delivered by operation of law -- in other words, the law expired, all of the bush tax cuts were over, the congress two hours after everybody's taxes went up -- in other words, all the bush tax cuts expired -- restored tax relief for 99% of the american people and did it on a permanent basis to guarantee that we wouldn't have another cliff like you have inevitably when a law sunsets, you have a cliff. so the president was able to get some new revenue by operation of law, and that represents this blue, this dark blue line right across here. and you can see that's pretty steady out to 2040. now the president, of course, said that wasn't nearly enough. he said we need more taxes, and we'll be back asking for more taxes later. so as nearly as we can tell, based on what he has said, the taxes that he would like to add to the ones he got by operation of law two and a half weeks ago is this light blue line right across here. so if the president were given all the tax increases he says at the moment he wants, that would provide this amount of revenue going out t

it's never going to become law. the question is what can they do? everybody after newtown is looking for doing something about gun control. they want to hear something along the lines of a quarter billion guns out there. if we eliminate guns now, what do we do about the illegal sales and what is already out there? we're the president of about putting more school resource officers in schools, dealing with mental health issues to prevent people getting hold of these weapons. in terms of what can pass in legislation, the most ambitious thing we will get through congress this year is a universal background check. right now 40% of people are not checked when they purchase a weapon legally. this happens at gun shows and things like that. everybody would have to have a background check. hopefully we would catch some of the people who should not be getting their hands on guns. what the caller is saying about the illegal sale of weapons, and has long been the complaint of people, anti-control folks who say the issue of people getting weapons illegally, how a

our poll shows 56% favor tighter gun control laws, 52% want illegal immigrants who hold jobs to apply for legal status. so, liz, what are his second term priorities going to be? what are we going to hear from him? >> well, look, i think he's already signaled what they're going to be. he's made it very clear that big immigration package is going to be put together. he feels a need to address gun control in the wake of newtown. and, you know, he's going to have to face the tax issue, as well. it's not just raising the debt ceiling that he's going to have to deal with. but he's going to have to negotiate with the republicans and perhaps try to change the tax code. all of these things are things he's already signaled he wants to do. what's fascinating is that this is a president who wanted to be a domestic president in the last -- in his first term and he was saddled with an economic situation and two wars to deal with. now is a shot to be that domestic president and make some really big change. but he's going to have to work with republicans in the house in order to get big things accomp
